Is Personal Finance considered Social Studies?

Ohno2:

Even UMich, which I referenced earlier in the thread, says explicitly on their admissions page that they only require three years (even though their CDS reports four are required). I have come to the conclusion that for many colleges, three years is sufficient.

Note that for selective colleges many of the admitted students will have 4+ years of courses in each core subject area…regardless of what a given college might say is ‘required’, or the minimum. For purposes of this thread, I answered your question that the personal finance class is not going to count as a social studies at most colleges.

Most colleges across the US will happily admit students who have taken 3 social studies courses…because most colleges accept most applicants.

You might look at how many core credits and/or social studies credits the top students from your kid’s HS graduate with.
